Problem solved. The solution was to get a newer release from IBM. Upgrading IBMJava to the latest 64 bit version: 1.4.2 SR1a
techsvcs:~ # java -version java version "1.4.2" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2) Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM build cxz64142sr1a-20050324 (JIT enabled: jitc)) The versions that came with SuSE 9 and SP1 had the problem... I'm going to ask SuSE to update their package to SR1a. *Brandon Wolfe, Gordon W wrote: > I submitted a ticket to SuSE/Novell on the Java/Tomcat bug.
